Over the last 13 years, the Union High School Vocal Department has become a regular participant at, oddly enough, all of the state athletic finals. They are not there for their prowess on the field and court but the quality of their voices. That’s right, Union will again be performing the national anthem at a state event. Over the years Union vocalists have been selected to perform the national anthem at State Football, State Boys Basketball, State Girls Basketball, State Dual Wrestling, State Individual Wrestling, State Volleyball and All-State Speech Festival. Next up for Union will be the quarter-finals of the 2015 State Volleyball Championships. A group of 16 vocalists have been chosen to perform for the 10am Session on Wednesday, November 11th at the US Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids. The group is under the direction of Tim J. Mitchell
